Awakening in nature
AN ESCAPE WITH PURPOSE
This is more than a vacation. It is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your body, quiet your mind, and remember what matters most.
For six nights and seven days, we will gather in the Serra da Mantiqueira mountains for nourishing yoga, meditation, body awareness, nature experiences, and spacious time to simply be. Each day will offer a thoughtful balance of guided practice, community, exploration, and rest.
Come exactly as you are. Return feeling grounded, renewed, and actually seeing the powerful changes you have made.
Practices such as QiGong and Yoga don't create a separation between body and spirit, and are helpful in weakening the pain-body. They will play an important role in the Global Awakening.
